Discover Nosy Be
D reaming of a tropical island getaway? Explore the archipelago of Nosy Be, just off the coast of north-western Madagascar, where every moment is magical.
With dazzling white beaches, exotic forests and vibrant markets, there’s something for everyone. Fringed by coconut palms and hugged by crystal-clear waters, Nosy Be’s coastline is among the most beautiful in the Indian Ocean. Swim, snorkel or dive in the turquoise waters, home to pristine coral reefs and exotic marine life. Nosy Be promises world-class scuba-diving and sport fishing, making it the perfect destination for sea lovers. Or experience the clear waters aboard a luxury catamaran. After spending time on the beach and in the water, explore the island’s lush vegetation. Keep an eye out for the island’s indigenous animals such as lemurs and panther chameleons as you walk through the tropical forests. Nosy Be is known locally as “Nosy Manitra”, which means “the scented island”. And as soon as you catch the fragrance of blossoming flowers, you’ll understand where the name comes from. Stroll through the colourful markets and immerse yourself in Malagasy culture. Browse for unique keepsakes to take home to friends and family, and to remind yourself of the incredible time you spent in this piece of paradise. Discover the delicious flavours of freshly caught seafood and mouthwatering local rum.
